[b]In the freighter's cargo bay, the infiltration team makes quick work of the unsuspecting sailors and engineers - cleverly disabling an alarm bell in the process so that their movements continue to go unnoticed as they make their way from the bay down a hallway.  Guided by the Equine tribesman's model the team make their way through the belly of the [i]Bdylegmia[/i] in search of the strongbox, the room where their prize awaits.  Along the way the crew will encounter sailors running about the narrow hallways, most of them in various stages of preparation to join the topside melee - few of these men are ready to encounter Balder's crew as it delves deeper into the storage deck's labyrinthine passageways.

The infiltration team will eventually find itself before one last hallway leading to a closed door at the end of a barren room measuring 10x20 ft.  Two men stand on either side of the door, and no sailors they be.  Dressed in robes seemingly made of the finest silks though flickering with a faint amber hue, the more traveled of the party may recognize these men as Imperial Arbiters - the walking judges of the Tiberian Empire.  East of Oceanica the militaristic Empire spans virtually the entirety of the continent, and its Arbiters travel from city to city dispensing their draconian justice with impunity.

Those white silk robes of theirs shimmer with a slight amber hue despite the hallway's scant lighting - you may recognize it as [i]alumail[/i], armor woven from the finest of metallic strands and infused with the earthen [i]caith[/i] Alumen.  These alumail battle robes are as light and flexible as a Faisseille whore, but stronger than Russka moonshine.  Aside from this armor the men wear neither helms nor gloves, and their boots are plainly-made for travel.

Aside from their exquisite armor the men stand out from every sailor aboard - cleanshaven, sober and hard-eyed, these judges are as skilled as any warrior and are prepared to fight to defend this cargo.  In the small room and with their backs to the locked door, they will work in tandem to not be surrounded or out-maneuvered.  Each wields a gladius - a short sword designed for thrusting and cutting, perfect for close-quarters combat.[/b]
